Watch_Dogs on Xbox One: 1080p Video Leaked; Off-Screen Pictures Show Great Weather Effects and More

Lately you've seen a lot of the PS4 version of Watch_Dogs, but alas, the game is coming out on Xbox One as well, and the same multiplayer beta is happening on Microsoft’s new console.

While the leaks aren’t as numerous, there’s still something to enjoy.

I suggest to actually download the video from the link to see how it really looks, it's 1080p, direct feed and 20,000 kbps, can't get much better quality than that.

Hydrolex3632d ago

I played the game on PC for 30 minutes, max settings and the game defiantly looked gorgeous... I didn't play on PS4, but the PC looked much better which is normal since the PC I played it on was a 3k PC.

FlyingFoxy3632d ago

@Hydrolex you must've been playing on an Alienware or something because they are renowned for a hefty price increase just for their name (Like Apple) in reality you can spend less than half of that for building a high end PC..

Volkama3632d ago

Alienware do over-charge, but that isn't the only way to spend so much. You can easily cram a legitimate $3000 worth of hardware in a PC if you want to...

abstractel3632d ago

Why did they remove screen-space reflections? They don't seem to be in any videos I've seen... Infamous/Killzone has them and they look fantastic.

starchild3631d ago

Huh? You must not have seen any of the videos I have seen. Screen space reflections are present in lots of videos I have seen. Even here, the Owl Motel sign has a real time reflection.

1080p video for a 900 and 790p game. I think the game looks sexy though. X1 day one purchase. Enjoy cause there is nothing to play for a little while. Sorry UFC on the 17th.

Abriael3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

The game is outputted in 1080p and upscaled. 792p and 900p are just the native rez.

If you saw a video in 900p or 792p it wouldn't be representative of what you'll see on the screen, because it'd be upscaled and then downscaled again.

blackout3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

WOW,ok. Still looks goood. Can't wait.

mark3214uk3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

wonder if they will send out a patch for 1080p on ps4 and 900p on x1

Patrick_pk443632d ago

The Forest on the 22nd. I don't need no Watchdogs.

Ricegum3632d ago

Isn't that the Oculus Rift game?

whothedog3632d ago

The Forest, only an amazing looking game. It will knock your socks. and no it doesn't require Oculus Rift.

Yukicore3631d ago

But if you want a bonus : brown colored pants, you can play it with Oculus Rift.

starchild3631d ago

I'm getting both. I've been looking forward to The Forest since the first trailer was released. It's a survival horror game and it looks incredible. It also has Oculus Rift support.

Watch Dogs also looks amazing and I can't wait to play it.

The game looks great but the water plays a great role lol

And what's up with that blue jacket of the images? It's awful.

corvusmd3632d ago

It should be noted that you guys should download and watch the video from the link. I made the mistake of watching the streaming one and thinking it was some sort of trolling attempt. My bad, just a head's up. That being said, despite the downgrade from the original reveal of this game...it still looks great. I finished paying off my preorder today (with trade-ins). I'm ready for the next few week, quite a few games I want to play.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1004d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1004d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1004d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1004d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1004d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1004d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1004d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11004d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1004d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11004d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1004d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1004d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1004d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1004d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1004d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131004d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1004d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131004d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1069d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1069d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11068d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921069d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1069d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1068d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1069d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1069d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1069d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
